It is different thing. When you copy data into computer's RAM, that might be copying as defined in law [1]:

> Using software almost always involves creating copies, even though many of these copies only exist for a very short time. For example, executing a program means copying it from the hard disk into RAM so that the CPU can interpret the instructions. Because of this, the right to run a program is considered to fall under the copyright of the author.

For comparison, when a human looks at the letters, there is no copying.

Also, models can reproduce text verbatim which proves that they store it.

So it is unfair when ordinary folks got sued for this and Zuckerberg wants to get away with a million times larger violation. He must go directly to jail.
